How to calculate transformer load percentage
This calculator finds transformer load percentage by comparing actual load to the transformer's rated capacity.
How the calculation works
Load percentage = (Actual load ÷ Transformer rating) × 100.
Example
75 kVA actual load on a 100 kVA rated transformer: (75÷100)×100 = 75%.

Pro Tips for Transformer Load Percentage
- Running a transformer consistently near or above 100% of rated capacity generates excess heat and shortens transformer life — leave reasonable margin for normal operation.
- Account for anticipated future load growth when evaluating whether current transformer capacity is adequate, not just present-day load.
Common Transformer Load Percentage Mistakes to Avoid
- Sizing new equipment additions without checking whether the existing transformer has adequate remaining capacity margin, risking chronic overload.
